Redefining marriage and replacing it with state subsidised with legal erotic partnerships is certainly not equal for children or the next generation. It's simply the expansion of state power over what is a natural self sustaining and relatively autonomous institution. All this genuine freedom is unbearable to the powerful.

A tiny minority of a tiny minority that are 'gay' would actually 'marry' anyway. It is the attempt at a great strategic victory by neo-liberal elites. Pyrrhic of course, because if male-female marriage can't claim to be a natural government, then the state can't either. It's all self refuting.
